Wattle Downs Golf Course

As most residents of Wattle Downs know, our peninsula has a 9 hole golf course tucked in amongst the trees and residences.

Some of you may well be long-time patrons of the course and others may only know it from driving past the carpark on Wattle Farm Road.

Below is some information about the course that the community might find useful.

Who is the golf course for?

The course is situated on private land, but it is a place for all people. Beginner golfers are encouraged to get a lesson from the local coach, Stephen Partridge. There is a dedicated coaching area where you can learn in peace. Experienced golfers often come to grab a game before or after work. There is also a thriving Men’s division on Saturdays and Ladies’ division on Wednesdays.

Is there a restaurant on premises?

There is a well equipped restaurant inside the Clubhouse run by the lovely May. Membership to the club is not required for entry, everyone is welcome. It is open 7 days per week, starting at 6.30am on weekdays. The coffee is a ‘must-try’ item. We also have cabinet food for breakfast and cooked meals for lunch and dinner. Function bookings for up to 80 people are also available, call us on 09 268 1929 to enquire.

Opening Hours: Monday & Tuesday 6.30am-1pm. Wednesday & Thursday 6.30am-1pm / 4-7pm. Friday 6.30am-8.30pm. Saturday & Sunday 9am-7pm.

Are dogs allowed on the course?

Dogs are not allowed on the golfing areas (greens, fairways, bunkers, etc). However, they are allowed outside the clubhouse, in the carpark and in the courtyard. You are welcome to bring your pooch, but please keep them on a lead when on the property.

Can I walk through/on the golf course?

Wattle Downs has a number of excellent park and picnic areas. We discourage people from being on the course unless they are playing golf. The aim is to look out for our players. Golf balls can fly unpredictably and, unless you are familiar with the timing, direction and etiquette of golf, it is best to avoid the area of play. There are exceptions to this rule however. For example, the annual Christmas Picnic in December is a great time to experience the grass with the family. We close part of the course for safety during these kinds of events.
